Electrochemical conversion of CO2 to formic acid using Bismuth catalysts is one the most promising pathways for industrialization. However, it still difficult achieve high production at wide voltage intervals and industrial current densities because Bi are often poisoned by oxygenated species. Herein, we report a Bi3S2 nanowire-ascorbic hybrid catalyst that simultaneously improves selectivity, activity, stability applied voltages. Specifically, more than 95% faraday efficiency was achieved...

Positively charged Cu sites have been confirmed to significantly promote the production of multicarbon (C2) products from an electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, positively has difficulty in existing under a strong negative bias. In this work, we design Pdδ--Cu3N catalyst containing charge-separated Pdδ--Cuδ+ atom pair that can stabilize Cuδ+ sites. situ characterizations and density functional theory reveal first reported negatively Pdδ- exhibited superior CO binding...

Engineering exosomes with nanomaterials usually leads to the damage of exosomal membrane and bioactive molecules. Here, pathological angiogenesis targeting magnetic imaging, ferroptosis inducing, immunotherapeutic properties is fabricated using a simple coincubation method macrophages being bioreactor. Extremely small iron oxide nanoparticle (ESIONPs) incorporated (ESIONPs@EXO) are acquired by sorting secreted from M1-polarized induced ESIONPs. ESIONPs@EXO suppress in vitro vivo without...

Metal-exchanged CHA-type (SAPO-34 and SSZ-13) zeolites are promising catalysts for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by NH3. However, an understanding the process at molecular level is still limited, which hinders identification its mechanism design more efficient zeolite catalysts. In this work, modeling reaction over Cu-SAPO-34, a periodic density functional theory (DFT) study NH3-SCR was performed using hybrid (HSE06) with consideration van der Waals (vdW) interactions. A low N–N...

The Fischer–Tropsch synthesis plays a significant role in re-forming natural resources to meet global demand for commodities, while there is ongoing oil depletion and population growth. Mechanisms have long been investigated, but they are still heavily debated issue. In this work, all of the possible elementary reaction steps on flat cobalt surface were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) with van der Waals interactions. Kinetic simulations standard DFT data (free energies...

Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs), which belong to the iron-based metal–organic frameworks, are important biomedical agents. Reducing size of PBNPs can bring improved functional properties, but unfortunately, has been a long-standing challenge. Herein, sub-5 nm ultrasmall (USPBNPs) were successfully synthesized by using ethanol/water mixture as solvent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) surface capping agent. Adjusting ratio is not only able control nucleation time also tune conformation PVP...
